Why a custom night guard?
Many people grind or clench their teeth during sleep without knowing it. Over time it can wear the enamel, crack teeth and damage dental work.
We recommend and provide hard, custom night guards. They are made to fit your teeth exactly, so they stay in place, hold up to grinding and are comfortable to wear every night. Store-bought guards are bulkier and can fit poorly.
